About This Book
Two young women aviators set out on flights and a yachting excursion that lead to mechanical failure and forced landings, leaving them marooned on a remote island. Resourceful and courageous, they confront shipwreck, manage scarce fuel and damaged equipment, and face adversaries and local authorities while improvising repairs and survival strategies. The plot moves through aerial competitions, rescues, captured aircraft, and diplomatic negotiations, testing friendship and practical skill. Episodes highlight early aviation technology, seamanship, and decisive, cooperative action as the heroines navigate danger, pursue goals, and resolve a crisis that demands courage and ingenuity.
